[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1049761, member: 24160"] richardclarke: No, similar to pretty much every receiver on the market, once you plug headphones in, all other audio outputs are disabled. It wouldn't do you any good to find such a cable. The mdp port on your Mac does not support audio. You could try some third party USB sound card. Which one and as to whether any of them allow for software selection of which port to use I really don't know. I will say that while it may be possible to wear out the port by stressing the connection, I have never seen this happen on any of my personal devices over the 40 years that I've been purchasing electronics. Don't know that anyone could plug and unplug cabling any more than I did on my early '70s models reel to reels. [/QUOTE]
